North Avenue Beach

Beach

👍👍 I didn't know about this little gem in the heart of North downtown Chicago. A beach, near the heart of the city. I love it. The food Is great, the sand is clean, tons of law enforcement, there was a volleyball tournament going on and the people was having the time of their lives. Hands down this i...

31st Street Beach

Beach

👍 A great park, walking distance to both the waterfront and the marina. You can park in the garage if you get there early in the morning or do the paid parking along the shore. The playground is equipped with swings, slides and splash zones for the kids( not to much covering). We recommend going ear...

Bradford Beach

Beach

👍 Quite crowded when the weather is nice, but generally a little more open at the far north end. Ample sand when not covered in ice. Sometimes really cool ice formations here in the winter. Unfortunately no dogs allowed.

Lake Street Beach

Beach

👍 This beach is sublime! It truly is. It is beautiful here and it's all soft sand. No rocks. There's somewhat of a boat launch for small watercraft. There is no way you will get a big boat in here, the water is just too shallow. I've seen the jet ski owners have to get off and push multiple times to g...

Lee Street Beach

Beach

😠 The beach is beautiful, the water fresh, cool and clear. The problem is that you cannot enjoy it. The beach is so severely regulated with kids enforcing ignorant laws and they are extremely overzealous. There's a small square of buoys that your allowed to swim and nowhere else. It's so small that th...

Simmons Island Beach

Beach

👍👍 My family and I have lived this beach forever. Born and raised in kenosha, I could never imagine leaving the lake front area. What peace the view brings after a long hard day, or what a scene to just go for a nice calm walk. My kids ask to go to the beach even in the winter lol. Although I will say...

This sandy city beach on Lake Michigan allows swimming when lifeguards are present.

Lighthouse Beach

Beach

🫤 They are charging for passes now and this is a public beach. Seems weird and not right. Public means anyone can go in for free. Given COVID, passes would be fine to limit capacity but they should be free. You can’t even buy passes at the gate. Seems like they are trying to prevent certain people fro...

Clark Street Beach

Beach

🫤 $80 pass fee for non resident. Plus pay for parking. Dangerous area because cars drive way too fast and not always stop at the people crossing area. There is always at least 1 crazy person there every time I have been in past yrs as well as this last time taking pictures of people randomly. Large sa...

4.50 (383 reviews) (~40.38 km from centre)

Gillson Beach

Beach

😠 Paid 16$ per person and can’t swim at all. You stay in the waste deep water after that staff whistle at you! Horrible feeling like a child being scolded constantly. P.s. toilet is dirty and smells so bad. WHY??? We pay 16$ for entering and you still don’t have enough money for cleanup and remodel...

Calumet Beach

Beach

😠 Wouldn’t recommend going to this beach. What I thought was going to be a fun day at the beach turned out to be my worst nightmare. I caught necrotizing fasciitis “flesh eating bacteria” from the contaminated water. Spent 14 days in the hospital, underwent two surgeries and literally fought for my li...
